When I try to pair my phone with my watch, it asks me for the password used when I bought the watch. The password I entered did not work. How can I unlock the watch without the password?
Apple Watch Series 8

My cellphone number was stolen. I had to get a new carrier, a new number and I upgraded from iPhone 10 to iPhone 14. I was unable to pair, so I reset my Apple watch (series 8), but it locked my watch.
